WHILE he’s in seventh heaven, might as well shoot for the stars, too.

Fresh from a impressive Ultimate Fighting Championship debut (UFC) less than three weeks ago in Melbourne, Jenel Lausa is already dreaming of a fight against the top draw of the world’s top mixed martial arts promotion.

Asked who he wants to fight next after scoring an unanimous decision win over Chinese Yao Zhiku, the homegrown Filipino fighter mentioned Conor McGregor without batting an eyelash, confident he can match up well against someone who thrives fighting on his feet.

But the 28-year-old flyweight from Iloilo is well aware that it’s just wishful thinking as McGregor has moved up to lightweight, making a rousing debut by knocking out Eddie Alvarez in UFC 205 in New York last month.

The former Pacific X-Treme Combat flyweight champion, who signed a two-year, four-fight contract with UFC earlier this year, is tentatively set to return to action next March in Las Vegas against a still-undetermined foe.
